Thermal Modelling and Simulation of Brushless D.C. Motor for Electromechanical Actuation
Abstract: A lumped-parameter thermal model is described which provides both a steady-state and transient solution to the temperatures within an electrical machine. The model is sufficiently complex to identify the temperatures at most locations in the machine, including the peak temperatures in the end winding and the surface temperatures of the rotor. It is formulated out of purely dimensional information and constant thermal coefficients and is therefore easily adapted to a …
